When Dick Francis died, his son picked up writing his 'series', but he had already been working with his dad to write them, so he's done a pretty good job of carrying on the style, if not the 'voice'. I have the feeling Francis' wife was responsible for the voice anyway, since she was his long-time writing partner before her death. Anyway, as many books as they had written together, I imagine the Charles Todd books will stay fairly close in style, although I did notice a few changes in the choices made by the author in the most recent Ian Rutledge. I'm suspecting that the almost claustrophobic feel of them will lessen, anyway.Pepper Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088936125225559789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-26455023105595163632022-09-21T15:13:46.554-07:002022-09-21T15:13:46.554-07:00It will be interesting to see if the series change...It will be interesting to see if the series change at all.
